You need to push for a raise, amigo. If I were somebody very important and worth rescuing, I would want my rescuer to be running off more than scavenged eggs.
( honestly, it is a little surprising that he was planted in a foreign country, alone, and ill equipped, for such a high stakes extraction. shouldn't rescuing the presidents daughter merit more than a pistol, first aid spray, and tactical knife?? it is pretty tempting to bitch about the job he never wanted being under paid and under appreciated, but, look. he's still forgiving Luis for those Umbrella connections. he needs more time!!! )
Eggs and sushi, breakfast of champions.
( "sushi" is very generous phrasing for "fish I found in an unrefrigerated sewer". )
[ to be entirely fair luis was also hoping for a little more oomf on his own rescue, not that ada doesn't seem terrifying and competent. she just also seems like the type who might double the price at the very last minute, or decide she wants one of his kidneys as a tip.
it's nice to imagine the us govt might care that he's assisting in the rescue of their princess, but there's all those pesky arrest warrants to consider. if he doesn't ask any americans in the vicinity for help, then he can't be told no and also to rot in hell. win/win. ]
Don't think I haven't seen you trying to catch the snakes around here. You know those things are venomous, don't you?
( well said pesky Americans with connections in the federal government probably would be an asshole about it, and then see what strings he has at pulling distance. after all, Leon would agree — Luis sticking his neck out to help them does merit some kind of leniency.
and something something may be a pain in the ass with a questionable work history but doesn't deserve to be brutalized by parasite worshiping cultists if he's attempting a change of heart something something. )
Not if you take the heads off. Better than the beetles, that's for sure.
( .... .... .. ...... he's joking. right? LEON SAY JK )
( nevermind. no federal protection for Luis. Leon is calling his work wife AS THEY SPEAK to make sure there is NO FORGIVENESS. SALTED EARTH for Spaniards that specify it is definitely a female bug germinating inside him. )
When my head bursts into a mass of tentacles, the worms will be the plagas problem.
[ :( :( :( actually he has no idea he was just doing that thing where you call a ship 'her' because Man Reasons. he'd need more data to make a solid identification. ]
You're a pessimistic sort of person, has anyone mentioned that? You're going to be on a private jet back to the United States with the princess, drinking martinis and-- doing whatever it is that secret agents do, afterwards. Receiving medals?
You'll be fine. So will she.
[ if push comes to shove and they can't get to the lab, there's always the Super Extra Hard Way ]
[ he would never-- alright he might. there is in fact a non-zero chance.
but they're definitely going to make it to the lab so luis won't have to try field surgery in an actual field, and everything will be fine! he is manifesting that reality, or whatever. it will count for one (1) atonement. ]
Sancho, are you saying that Hollywood has lied to all of us? I will never recover. You even look the part.
[ not that ada doesn't also look like a supermodel who would cut him if he said that to her face, but!! he'd been very impressed for the whole 2 seconds he thought leon might be his mercenary savior, back when they met, before that hope was cruelly dashed. ]
( wow he was joking about the beetle. probably. rocket launchers don't just buy themselves! )
Are you calling me blonde?
( Leon has been dodging all the flirty compliments like they're quicktime events, but apparently he IS hearing them and the idea he's blonde is where he has to put his foot down. )
(Leon is not especially sentimental these days, but, he can make an exception for Claire. and for his poor MIA jacket. gone too soon, king ✊😔 )
Schlatt classic. Leather with wool lining. This old cop I met as a kid wore one, he was everything a ten year old could want a cop to be. When I had fed money I got it, figured why not.
No idea. There was this giant Spanish missionary with a fake eye, got injected with a hive mind parasite, and boom. Woke up chained to a Spaniard in some basement without it.

3. You think they use chainsaws for landscaping or should I start getting concerned.
